The City of Boulder posted an online survey last week to gather input on its website at . The survey will be open through March 4, 2011.
The survey is intended to get input from users on what services and information they like, and what else they’d like to see as well as to gauge how users are finding information on the site. The survey results will be used, along with other information, to make improvements to the city’s website content, organization and navigation.
Scott Carpenter pool improvements begin today
The Parks and Recreation Department began work today, Monday, Feb. 14, to make repairs to the Scott Carpenter Park outdoor pool located at 1505 30th St. Pool repairs and improvements include installation of stainless steel gutters and a surge tank; energy efficient boiler; deck drains; lifeguard stands and a re-finish of the water slide.
Work on the pool is estimated to take approximately 10 weeks (depending upon weather and contractor scheduling) and should not impact the pool’s planned May 28, 2011 opening. According to Steve Whipple, facilities administrator for Parks and Recreation, this work is necessary to enhance the swimming experience, improve water and energy conservation, and improve pool performance and safety. The work is estimated to cost $400,000. The last significant maintenance project at the pool was in 2007, when it was sandblasted and painted. Scott Carpenter Pool is the only 50 meter pool operated by the city.
